Luk 15:7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Luk 15:10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

So from Jesus' words when one sinner repents there is joy in heaven and joy before the angels.
Interesting. The spiritual beings in heaven probably know the scriptures much better than we do mainly because they have the heavenly perspective. So if that's the case one wonders why they would have this joy when a sinner repents since according to the Calvinists those that repent are expected to repent.

Scene from Heaven;

Angel 1: Wow let's sing another sinner has repented
Angel 2: Nah, Only 1 billion 764 million 325 thousand 2 hundred and 15 to go.
What's on TV?

Why would they get excited about repenters who are expected to repent. Just a big yawn for them really.

Many are called, but few are chosen.

Nice quote but what is the context with what I wrote?
It refutes the notions of predestination.
Why would God call so many that will refuse Him if He could have just given the words of faith to the few?
All men on earth will be given the option of serving God during their lives, but few will submit to the governance of God.
When one does, there is rejoicing in heaven.
